"nowadays more and more people, especially those who live in large cities, suffer from a terrible emptiness and boredom as if they were waiting for something that never arrives.

The only adventure that is worthwhile for modern man lies in the inner realm of the unconcious psyche...'
Joseph L. Henderson under guidance of Carl.G.Jung
from the book 'Man and his symbols' first published 1964
